The Box node adds Box operations to your workflows. Add it on the canvas or ask the AI builder for it by name, then pick an operation and fill in its fields. Box also includes 1 trigger operation (marked in the tables below) that can start a workflow when something happens in Box.
You can wire the Box node into an AI agent as a tool provider: the agent calls the operations you allow. See Agent tools.
